What reading level is Abraham Lincoln's Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When he left his home at Springfield, with a full appreciation of the grave responsibility devolving upon him, in bidding farewell to the Christian com- munity in which he had lived for more than a quarter of a century, he gave ex- pression to his sentiments in this pathetic valedictory : " I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. With the as- sistance of that Divine Being who ever attended him I cannot f...ail. Trusting in Him who can go with me and remain with you and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell." 31 ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S RELIGION Such language does not sound much like that of an unbeliever, but on the contrary is pregnant with faith and hope in the guidance and watchfulness of a Supreme Being.
When requested to preside at a meeting of the Christian Commission in Washing- ton, held February 22, 1863, he replied, " The birthday of Washington and the Christian Sabbath coinciding this year, and suggesting together the highest in- terests of this life, and of that to come, is most propitious for the meeting proposed." In the February of the preceding year Lincoln was visited by a severe affliction in the death of his beloved son, Willie, to whom he was much attached, and by the extreme illness of anotherson, Thomas, familiarly called " Tad." This was a new burden and a heavy one, but through his firm faith in Providence he regarded the double visitation as direct from God, accepting the otherwise in- explicable affliction as a manifestation 32 ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S RELIGION of the divine design in regard to himself.
